Cong councillors call on MC chief, flay delay in House meetings

A delegation of Congress councillors, led by party leader Vikas Soni, met Municipal Commissioner Bikramjit Singh Shergill and apprised him of various civic issues plaguing the city.

During the meeting, Soni submitted a memorandum signed by all Congress councillors, pointing out that more than six months have passed since the last Municipal Corporation House meeting was convened. The letter underlined that, as per the Municipal Act, it is mandatory to hold such meetings every month, but the provision has not been followed.

The councillors urged the Municipal Commissioner to ensure that meetings are held regularly and civic concerns are addressed without delay. The councillors raised the issue of non-disbursement of salaries to the employees of Averda company which was involved in garbage lifting and waste management in the city.

Shergill assured the delegation that the problems would be resolved on priority basis.
